Re: [Engine-devel] Adding support for OpenLDAP to oVirt
Hi Uwe,
Bare in mind we have some plans for refactoring/changing the authentication module.
However, for the meanwhile - we will be very happy if you can assist in adding this
support.
I would like to introduce you to a Wiki that Oved Ourfali has written about the subject -

Please let us know if this helps you with your questions.
kind regards,
Yair

Subject: [Engine-devel] Adding support for OpenLDAP to oVirt
Hello together,
regarding support for OpenLDAP as domain provider I found this mail
from last year on ovirt-users list
:http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2012-July/002791.html
I would like to add support for OpenLDAP to oVirt. As a start I had a
look at
ovirt-engine/backend/manager/modules/bll/src/main/java/org/ovirt/engine/core/bll/adbroker/ITDS*
which seems to be very similar to the RHDS classes.
I simply copied all ITDS*.java files to OpenLdap*.java and changed
class names and so forth from ITDS/itds to OpenLdap/openLdap. I also
changed user and group attributes to make sense for OpenLDAP.
Additionally I enhanced the LdapQueryMetadataFactoryImpl class,
again copying mostly from ITDS and others.
To the very last I enhanced the enum at
ovirt-engine/backend/manager/modules/utils/src/main/java/org/ovirt/engine/core/ldap/LdapProviderType.java
with an OpenLDAP entry.
Right now I do not oversee the whole LDAPBroker code. Especially I do
not know how enum at LdapProviderType.java is related the code found
at bll/adbroker/*.
Could you please give me some guidance and advise, if I am on the
right track? I could also send a diff of all changes to the list, if
that is helpful. Thanks very much.
